Hi all,
I know that no one is going to care, but I just wanted to tell SOMEBODY that I'm thrilled to know that my 5 string MG shape Imperial Elite has started construction. Jason confirmed for me that the neck has been started, and I'm hoping to see a completed bass in late April
, having placed my order in December 2011.
It seems time has gone by quickly since placing the order, and I've got enough going on in my life that waiting for the next 2 1/2 months to pass by shouldn't be TOO big of a deal, but we all know (at least those who have ordered a Fodera) how it starts to feel, the closer to completion it gets. I'm sure many of you have had to deal with that many more times than me...this is going to be only my second custom Fodera, and the first one, a Yin Yang Deluxe, didn't really even count, since I bought the bass from a dealer with only 6 weeks left to finish the bass from an order placed by the dealer a few years previously. Who else has a custom scheduled to complete in mid-late April, this year???

All I can say is thank G*d for VERY hefty tax refunds!!!! Mine will cover my bass, plus a little extra. If I could get away without telling the wife, I'd use the excess for a Monique 
) The standards certainly are a gateway drug - for me, it just happened to be a gateway to greater musical exploration (and the appreciation for what a fine instrument means to your playing).
). I am travelling accross the world (Literally a 16 hour direct flight) on Wednesday to NYC to pick up the Fodera and hang out with the Fodera gang, as one of the main reasons for my visit. Just a few more days left, but the anxiousness is killer!!!!!
